Compact When it works, it works well.

Dropping it will make it so you have to take the casing off to continue use Does not like long USB cables (6' work fine)

When it works well, it works for a while. I put this thing through the ringer, it read over a thousand floppy diskettes before quitting on me. Not knowing that they were hit and miss I went out to get another one to continue archiving and it lasted 2 disks. Unfortunately I had already tossed the box as I had assumed it would work like the previous.

This product does read the floppy data

This product does not save any data to the floppy.

I feel ripped of. 44.99 plus tax and the product does not do all that it was purchased for.

- portable

- none

I've had this drive for over a year now. Really handy for system builds especially when installing a RAID setup. Now, motherboards don't come with a floppy connector onboard so having this in your tool kit is a must.

Allowed installation of WinXP 32-bit onto a RAID 5 array on a computer without a floppy connector.

None

I almost did not buy this product because of the last review but when I got to the store the salesman convinced me to give it a try.

I was able to use this drive to format a 3.5" floppy and install the RAID drivers I needed to install WinXP on a new computer without a built in floppy drive.

I don't know what the other guys problem was. This drive did everything I wanted and it was way cheaper than the others.

I have no complaints.

Recognized by system but will not read the floppies.

Wants to format all disks. Will not read the data on the floppy.

Would not recommend this drive because of its failure to read the floppy and wanting to format. When trying to format a floppy...still fails. This drive fails to get my recommendation. Will be returning it for a refund.
